My car was parked overnight in front my house on the street, and I remote started it around 4 pm. As I was looking out the window to check if the car started- I saw it moving forward. I ran out of the house and within a few seconds- the car rolled into my neighbor's truck and sustained damage to the hood and frame. This is a safety issue because the car is a push start car- and should not have started and moved. Luckily it hit a parked car and not a person. The remote start came with the car when I bought it from the kia dealership in 2013. I called kia corporate and have an appointment to get the car looked at the closest dealership. I did not have any warning lights- but I did have my car recently serviced (oil change and valve cover repaired). I also am dealing with a clogged catalytic convertor due to a leaky valve cover- and was told by kia corporate this may be covered under a class action lawsuit.

Trunk's push-button rubber covering crumbled off over the course of a year and the trunk hasn't opened since. There is no other way to open my trunk. I am unable to change my tire or get my tire repair kit in the event of a flat because all of the materials are in the compartment under the trunk's covering.

03/08/19 at 5:45am I was entering us hwy 23 n. Bound from central ave. In sylvania ohio. The car was having issues with acceleration as I tried to get on the freeway. Suddenly I heard like a fan noise, the oil light came on followed by the engine light and the car just shut off! I pulled to the side of the road as smoke was filling the cabin. I got out and went around front and flames were coming out between the hood and the fender on the passenger side. I called 911. One police and 2 fire trucks showed up in nothing flat! The fire was moving into the cab. The car is a total loss! After my own research I firmly believe it was the cooling fan resistor. That would explain the noise I heard and the fire.
